Project Management Overview
Project management involves planning, executing, and closing projects to meet specific goals within set constraints, such as scope, time, and budget. As a Project Manager I coordinate teams, manage resources, monitor progress, and handle risks. They ensure successful project delivery by aligning tasks with objectives, maintaining clear communication, and adapting to changes.
Methodologies Used
-
Agile
Agile is an iterative project management approach focused on flexibility, collaboration, and continuous improvement. Teams work in short sprints to deliver small, functional product increments, allowing for regular feedback and adjustments. It promotes adaptability and is often used in software development.
-
Waterfall
Waterfall is a linear, sequential project management method where each phase (e.g., requirements, design, implementation, testing) must be completed before moving to the next. It’s ideal for well-defined projects with clear timelines and minimal changes, as it emphasizes structure and detailed upfront planning.
-
Hybrid
Hybrid project management combines elements of both Agile and Waterfall methodologies. It allows teams to follow structured phases for high-level planning (Waterfall) while remaining flexible and adaptive in execution (Agile). This approach is useful when parts of a project require strict planning and others need iterative progress.
